Itaúba Reservoir Day Trip + Boat Ride

On this day trip to the Itaúba reservoir, we will explore the landscape around the hydroelectric power plant on a boat ride.

Description

At the specified time, we will meet at the Termas Romanas Recanto Maestro. We will board our vehicle for an 80 km (50 mile) journey to the dock at the Itaúba reservoir, a significant site in the development of Rio Grande do Sul.

Upon arrival at the port near the hydroelectric power plant, we will board a boat for a 10 km (6.2 miles) ride to the Alagüe cliffs, a notable location in this eastern state.

During the boat ride, we will sail on the emerald waters of the reservoir and visit the Estrela and Benzedura waterfalls and observe the Butucatu geological formation, which formed due to the desertification of the ancient continent of Gondwana.

We will appreciate the landscape and local flora and fauna, and share some legends from the area, including that of the farmer who paid his workers by pushing them into the water.

Finally, we will return to the dock, reboard our vehicle, and depart for Restinga Sêca, concluding the activity approximately 5.5 hours after it begins.
